Will these sound good just powered by the head unit?

I put these in my daughter's car. . and they sound good from the pioneer head unit.is not a high powered one but the seem to be nice quality. I would buy them again

The answer is it depends on the head unit but with a quality unit I would have no issue running them.

Define sound good? It's sort of subjective. These speakers sound ok to me using the head unit only, but to be honest the speakers could use a separate amp to give them more power as I can't honestly tell the difference between these an the 20 year old Kenwood's they replaced. For the price, IMHO, it would be better than your current Blaupunkt speakers.

yes but if u want a decent head unit get somting other that a pyle or boss they are made really cheaply and probably wont last too long my whole system is kicker and kenwood

They sound ok just being ran to the radio but to get max potential out of them put them on a small aftermarket amplifier. I used the infinity 475 high performance 4 channel

It will drive them but on the slight side I'm running it on a pair of 8 ohm 60w and it's great sounding. There is a slight buzz if left at max volume and dead air but other then that it's well worth the price and hides well under the computer stand.

They will sound fine with just about anything. I have a Yamaha 773 AVR and it drives everything fine from my ceriwn vega part monsters to my pioneers andrew Jones series speakers.

No. They need to be plugged in to an amplifier or receiver. The power provided by a head phone jack will not work. You may get a small amount of sound if you can find an adapter.

They should work fine. I am driving a pair with a small amplifier (2x40 watts) and the volume is more than sufficient, albeit not rock concert levels.

Might be a little too much for that. I guess in the end it depends on how you are going to drive them. I have always used self powered speakers for computer use.

They will work but will not be very loud. you buy an amp with higher power for better sound quality.

Yes, the head unit will push them and they will sound decent, but you won't be able harness their full potential without an amp.

Yes. .....you will need a power amplifier. ...they are not powered speakers.

Hey, not unless you have a power amp and mixer. These are non-powered and have no built-in amplifier at all.

these speakers definitely need additional power but head unit is according to your personal taste, great speakers

If you are using them for your rear speakers, they will be just fine with your system. We have about same set up and they work very nice.

Yes you can and they will sound way better then the stock speakers. If you ever ditch the stock Ford head unit for a good Pioneer or whatever then they will really come alive.

It all depends on if you are using an amplifier remember they are rated @ 360watt's so you need some power to drive them, if your stereo put's out 4x50 they sound good but you will get better sound if you put 300 watt's per channel and don't forget a sub to complete your system for full enjoyment.
